Subject: [PATCH 4.4 78/83] drm/mst: Avoid dereferencing a NULL mstb in drm_dp_mst_handle_up_req()

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Imre Deak <imre.deak@...el.com>

commit 7f8b3987da54cb4d41ad2545cd4d7958b9a36bdf upstream.

In case of an unknown broadcast message is sent mstb will remain unset,
so check for this.
